Eight Seconds

Ex-bareback rider and part-time songwriter Cam The Professor Chester rides pick-up for Philadelphia area rodeosand rides the men he picks up in Phillys gay bars. Hated by other rodeo folks, hes alone in the showers one night when someone knocks him out. Barebacker, bisexual Wyatt Knott has never met anyone like Cam and is instantly drawn to him. After Wyatt finds Cam unconscious on the shower floor, he goes home with the man to tend to his wound. Before you can say, Ride em, cowboy, the two have sweaty, grasping sex in Cams recliner. When Cam reports his attack in the showers to the rodeos owner, Shep Walton, Walton tells him nothing can be done because Cam doesnt have any idea who hit him, and there were no witnesses. But by reporting the assault to Walton, Cam sets in motion a chain of events that will leave him drugged and bound in a chair, Wyatt standing next to him, with someone holding a revolver on them both. EIGHT SECONDS, the length of time a barebacker must stay on his bronco, weaves the story of two men whove never been in love, yet find themselves unable to dismiss their passionate sex as a casual thing.
